BaraDB provides multiple backup strategies ranging from full snapshots to incremental and online consistent backups.
> ⚠️ **Multi-Database Setup**
> BaraDB supports multiple databases (`CREATE DATABASE`). Each database has its own isolated data directory (e.g. `data/databases/<name>/`). Backup, repair, checkpoint, and migration commands operate on **one directory at a time**. If you use multiple databases, run the commands for each database separately or back up the entire `data/databases/` parent directory.

## SQL Migrations
BaraDB supports SQL-level migrations executed through BaraQL:
```sql
-- Create a migration table
CREATE MIGRATION TABLE my_migration;
-- Apply pending migrations
MIGRATION UP;
-- Rollback last migration
MIGRATION DOWN;
-- Apply all pending migrations in batch
MIGRATION UP BATCH;
-- Dry-run to preview changes
MIGRATION DRYRUN;
-- Check migration status

Migration scripts are stored inside each database's LSMTree and are isolated per database. When using multiple databases, run `USE DATABASE <name>` before executing migration commands.
